Nonstop Starbase Action! Elon Says Starship's Flight 5 is 'About 3 Weeks' Away! - SpaceX Weekly #127

While SpaceX is hard at work on their first block 2 Starship, the flight 5 Starship has an engine swapped and undergoes another round of testing. Test article B14.1 returns to the launch site for another round of catch testing, and construction rolls on at the new launch tower and office building. Over at Cape Canaveral, Starlink launch and recovery operations continue, Falcon 9 launches another Cygnus cargo spacecraft to the ISS, and Blue Origin gives us a glimpse of part of their New Glenn booster recovery operations.
